Elmer Gantry'S Velvet Opera Long Nights Of Summer: Elmer Gantry'S Velvet Opera CD

Three CD set. First-ever complete career anthology of highly-regarded late '60s UK psychedelic band Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera. Includes mono and stereo versions of much-loved 1968 debut album plus their post-Elmer follow-up LP, several studio out-takes, demo versions, non-LP singles and a revelatory 50 minutes of BBC session tracks (the bulk of which have never been released before), Long Nights Of Summer features a new 6000 word essay on the band and many rare images.
